Just waiting for York5stringer to return from a trip, then we'll decide on the choice of venues we're looking at. Sorry for delay, but the venue choice is largely dependant on numbers committed to come. But it's happening for sure on Sunday 18th 12-4 p.m. and likely to be in Sherborne. John.

Did a trade with Julian. Great communications, very straightforward, friendly and trustworthy guy to deal with. Thanks, John

I'll be brining an old Blade B4, Wilkes BI, Kydd EUB and am happy to bring my old DB, if people want to try groping a big old 'gal?!

[quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1350981232' post='1845703'] A cheaper alternative to the K&K Bassmax is the Tacoman, available from superiorbassworks.com. It has a lower output than the Bassmax but, to my ears, has a flatter, cleaner response. At around £40 inc p&p, you'll have cash left over for a decent preamp. [/quote] I've been using a TM pickup for 2.5 years, never had feedback issues, very much like what it produces on my old ply with Prestos.

No, its not that one Ash, the one I'm looking at is a private deal...:-)

Thanks Ash. I don't need an EUB, but they look very portable for rehearsal, tight spaces, etc, and could be modded to be strapped like Mr. levin and his NS EUB I read about the feedback on a forum or two this afternoon, but I use a DHA DI with my DB, so would probably use that too. Damn GAS...:-) Cheers, John

Hi, Has anyone any experience of these? 30" scale, have people had difficulty in changing between standard scale DB, to this? What's the tone like, fretless electric?, or "woody"? Thanks for any info. John

Hi bluejay. We are looking at a choice of venues at the moment and will let people know ASAP. It will be in the Sherborne, or Shaftesbury area.

[quote name='deaver' timestamp='1350736478' post='1842846'] Might be able to make it again to this one. All good stuff last time, even the bagpipe jazz bit. If anyone can offer a lift from Salisbury then all the better. [/quote] Be great to see you there Jon. Bring your PJ stuff, once someone's heard it they'll have it off you!

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1350686248' post='1842437'] Is it worth if ppl are bringing stuff to say what there bringing or not? [/quote] Up to you really. It can be quite interesting to see what will be on display. These events can be a useful place to bring stuff you're looking to sell too, as people have the chance to try it out, negotiate face to face, and take it away. So bring your cash too folks, you could go home with more than you came with, (best bring some "smuggling/cloaking devices" with you for unloading the other end).
